Skateboard movie compression for web, HELP. please

hi,
can anyone help me here?
ok,here is the situation.
i want to get the best compression using h.264 (file size,quality etc) for a 6 min fast moving skateboard film with graphics and slow motion sequences.
i have compressor and quicktime pro too.
please give me some advice on whats best.
i would like the quality to be near the origianl final cut file.
would be great if someone could describe exact settings.
thanks

I would stick with David's suggestion. You're going to have to compromise size and quality. Any time you're dealing with web media you need to be sensitive to file size and download times. In order to accommodate an acceptable file size that caters to your market you'll have to compress the video which in turn will degrade quality. If your not happy with 800 kbps h.264 try again with a slightly higher or lower bit rate.

Correct audio compression for web playback.

I am making a webseries and I want to know what is the best audio compression for web playback.
I tried H.264, but the audio levels were much lower when I played it back outside of finalcut.

Photoshop CC2014: Can't use save for web option PLEASE HELP

Whenever I try and save a small animation as a gif (or anything in save ffor web) this happens http://prntscr.com/4gpseu This happened in CS6 I upgraded thinking it might fix it

As you can see from my screen capture I had no problem problem doing a 30 frame animation with Photoshop CC 2014. You screen capture looks strange. Your save for web screen capture shows frame 2 almost 8MP in size and all pixels are pinkish where the color map shows colors all a single gray for the animation no variation in color are all ??? You selected to only use 128 colors instead of the possible 256 and to do no transparency dither . Have you tried resetting your Photoshop preferences. I showed in my screen capture I was using CC 2014 had 30 frames in my frame animation. Showed what my Save for web looked like. Your Save For Web Capture looks very strange to me. Look at your's here then look a my screen capture. Even when I use the preset you chose GIF 128 No dither and a large image my save for web look nothing like your..

Adobe media encoder CS4 - alised graphics and small black bars at 480x360 for web---HELP!

I recently installed the CS4 premiere software with Adobe Media encoder. I encode video for the web.
I have been a professional web video producer for over 10 years and have been using adobe products my whole career
My issues are:
1) I can not get clean edges on my graphics when exporting a flash video (.flv or .f4v) using "field order: progressive" as it should be for web output. All my graphics are high quality and I have tryed many formats (.eps, .psd, .gif ,jpg, .pnd) but once I change the field order drop down in the encoder settings to "(none) progressive" the graphics become alised...
2) My videos which are a size of 480x360 now have small black bars at the top and bottom after encoding the original down to 480x360. I have tried to crop the video so the bar go away but the whole video get fuzzy...WTF
I have spent so many hours reading and searching trying to fix these two issued and I am thinking that I am going back to my old software and discrediting the new adobe product every chance i get!!!!!!!!!!
I was previously using premiere pro 1.5, editing video and graphics and then exporting an uncompressed .mov file and then used Flash 8 Video Encoder to render a .flv file. This produced great video with crisp graphics.
PLEASE HELP

Stan,
I was using the on2VP6 codec at data rates from 275k to 400k with good results. -- with the new CS$ endcoder i am used h.264 at 500k to 700k, video quality looks good but the graphic overlays look like alised crap. In the encoder settings the edges of the graphics get jaged when I make the field order progresive...
I am starting with DV NTSC video at 720x480.
I am going to go back to my old work flow and test it. The settings are a bit different from premiere pro 1.5 to CS4 -- in 1.5 i could export out an unconpressed .mov with square px and then bring that large file to flash media encoder to create the .flv

Best compression for web site

I would like to add a 2-3 minute segment of a longer movie to my web site. I use wordpress which only allows for a 2MB media clip to be uploaded. What compression in Compressor (or elsewhere) would give me such a small file? Or is there another route I can take...posting to you tube or vimeo or such?
Thanks in advance.

You'd be much better off hosting somewhere else and embedding a player into your wordpress page. Or find another web hosting solution.

Export Compression for Web Use

Hi All
I've been through the forum and seen a lot of posts on the "art" of compressing files for use and transfer on the web while wanting to maintain quality.
I understand that it requires some tweaking of the frame size, the frame rate, and the data rate to get the optimum file size versers quality.
I've moved from iMove where export was simple(tho files were large) to FCE and I'm finding that the learning curve is very steep.
I've recently seen a video on Vimeo http://vimeo.com/10022953 which is stunning quality and only 36.5 MB with a frame size of 1280 x 720. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea how he may have achieved this. The Codecs that he has used are AAC, H.264, MPEG-4 ODSM, MPEG-4 SDSM. I'm wondering if it may be necessary to use another compressing software to convert the exported full size QuickTime movie file to a quality file such as this.
Any ideas???

Hi All
While waiting for comments to my question I contacted the producer to the video that I referred to above. When in doubt go to the source.
His reply is…
"I use the setting in Quicktime X, go to: File - Save As and in format select 1080p. Easy as pie"
So I gave it a shot and I managed to get an awesome quality video at a greatly reduced file size, similar to what he had. I also discovered a powerful tool in Quicktime X : File > Save for web. This gives other great sizes and extra files and code for hosting on your own servers.
If anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear but this has fixed me for the moment

Compression for DVD help

Hello,
I need some help using compressor.
I made an animated film using final cut pro. My finished project is 1440x960 which is a 3x2 aspect ratio with square pixels. These settings were used because my source material was still frames from a pro digital SLR camera.
I'm trying to make a DVD copy of it using DVD Studio Pro via Compressor. I realize I need to use the letterbox scale effect to get it to a 4x3 ratio without looking horizontally squashed on a TV, but I'm not sure how to figure out what percent to set it at. It's somewhere around 95 percent based on just looking at it, but is there a way to know EXACTLY what that percent should be?
If I use Quicktime to compress my movie, it automatically sets the correct letterbox scaling but it doesn't, at least not obviously, let you know what percent it uses. In addition, shouldn't Compressor do a better job compressing than Quicktime Compressor? Does it even output the required format for DVD's?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Use photoshop and make your photos 720 x 480, 72dpi.
Then import them into FCP.
Edit them up, export out as quicktime movie.
Then import them into Compressor.
Encode them with 7.0 mbps average, 8.2 max, 2 pass vbr, best.
For audio, use dolby digital, 224kbps, -31 normalization.
Should be fine.

Use of a NAS Drive, iTunes, Movies and Apple TV - Help please

I have an IMAC and i have a number of movies stored there within Itunes.
My Mac is operated in a Wireless Environment and when using Apple TV sometimes the IMAC cannot be located despite home sharing being on both devices and when it can be located and I watch a movie that is stored there sometimes the signal drops off which interrupts the movie.
The Apple TV is connected in a wired environment.
SOmeone has suggested that I should move my Itunes library music and movies to a NAS drive and connect that to my router which is hard wired,
Suggestions help and guidance welcomed

Update: I've found a work-around that lets me watch the movies, although it disables the iTunes Extras content (but it's not deleted).
While looking through the files for the Extras content, I noticed that for the two films I've had trouble with (X-Men Origins and Twilight), the Extras content was located in a separate folder from the actual mp4 movie files. For all my other movies that have the Extras content (and that were working), the content was in the folder with the movie. I tried moving the content into the movie folders, but that didn't help. Eventually, I removed the extras content from my iTunes library, without actually deleting it.
This caused the Apple TV to pick up the movies as if they were by themselves without the Extra features, and allows me to play them directly without going through the Extras menu. Something about the way that the Extras content was downloaded and associated with the movies seems to have gone wrong with those two movies, whereas for the others it worked correctly.
This is obviously not a long-term solution if you want to watch the Extra content, but at least this way the movie is streaming correctly on the ATV.
PS: for those two movies I mentioned above, the Extras content was listed separate from the movie itself in the iTunes library; whereas for the correctly functioning movies with Extras, the content was listed as another "track" under the movie.

Hi! My "Touch" has gone haywire since a botched up date. The colour has gone from my music menu Page (eg "songs", "artists2 etc. and my Touch will now not shuffle my tracks so I have to move on manually. Help please.

An update to my Touch went haywire and I lost my music and apps but luckily I had subscribed to i Cloud and they were reinstated but my music contents page - "artists", "songs" etc. no longer has any colour and the shuffle will not work. Help please?

Yes, the color has been deleted iOS 6.
You have tried turingin on shuffle, right?
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

Output files for Web Help

I am new to Robohelp. I am using Robohelp 8 and FrameMaker 9 for TC 2 on Windows XP.
Previously I used Webworks Publisher 2003 to convert my project and the output was put into one folder. I'm having difficultly figuring out how to do that with Robohelp 8. Right now it is putting each converted page in a separate subfolder with a *.css file. I don't even need the *.css file for each file because I just use one *.css file for the whole project.
So, for example, if I convert a FrameMaker book called BigBook.book and it has these files:
-ScreenA.fm
-ScreenB.fm
-ScreenC.fm
Then, I want Robohelp to put all of the converted book files in a folder called "Output" with the names:
-ScreenA.htm
-ScreenB.htm
-ScreenC.htm
Why? This help is contextual and I hand it over to the developers for the help. When the end-user clicks the help button, the GUI has a script that looks in one folder for a *.htm file that matches the *.jsp file of the GUI.
Sorry if this has been asked before. I looked around, but I could not find anything.
Thanks,
M.Hess

Welcome to the RH forums.
Can you clarify for us whether you are linking a FrameMaker document to your RoboHelp project and updating the content, or importing your FrameMaker documents? It sounds like the later.
In this case, what you can do is create a folder in your RoboHelp project called "Output". Before you import your FrameMaker documents, select this folder in your Project Manager pod. This ensures that any imported files are placed inside that directory. As you already have files you've imported, you can move them to a directory as you see fit. Just create an "Output" folder and click and drag the files into it in the Project Manager pod.

Getting error message2324 when downloading the new update for itunes help please

getting error message 2324 when downloading the latest update of itunes help please.
Will not let me uninstall itunes from my computer, gives me the message that I don't have access need administrator. ( I am the only user of this computer)
Thank you
Chris

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

ISync for Mac - Help please!

I have a Nokia N70 and am trying to update my contacts from my Address Book. I have up-to-date OSX 10.4.10 and iSync 2.4 and the phone is being recognised, so a good start! My problem is that my updated Address Book entries are not being transferred, somehow an old version of my Address Book is being used by iSync.
I've tried restarting the Mac, clearing all contacts from my phone and sync-ing again (repeatedly), but I still get the contacts from the old version of Address Book loaded into the phone.
I'm not a Mac expert, can anyone smarter than me help please?
Thanks for your time.
MacAndy
PS Any tips on useful software for making the N70 otherwise more compatible with music and any other areas would be very welcome.

There's an actions folder. It's your hard drive>library>application support>adobe>photoshop elements>8.0>Locale>en_US (this one is different if you aren't in the US)>workflow panels>actions

Compressing for web

I've never had a problem with compressor before, but now for some reason when I open a new batch it only gives me apple destinations or custom destinations. I usually have many other options. Does anyone have any idea how I can get the other destinations back or navigate around this? I just need to compress a 4 minute video for web. Thanks!

Change it in the size box of the Quicktime Export window.

Good luck,

Battery Level Gauge for E61i - Help please

The battery indicator on the menu of these phones is hopeless and don't appear to be any better in the various themes available. Does anyone know where I can get a good basic battery guage - preferably freeware but I don't mind paying a few ££.
Thanks for any help.
Queensparker

With the headset switched on and connected wirelessly go to:
Settings > Accessories and you'll see the battery level there.
If you don't see it you need to make sure your Nokia apps are fully up to date, especially Accessories and Audio. You can find the codes to update them on this link:
